I love the way in that clip the Kiwis did 2 tackles on JPR both of which were straight clothesline/decapitation and the b'stard just got up again.

He was well 'ard!!

And the way Gareth Edwards just saunters back after scoring....

Inneresting fact: The closest the Babarians have to a home ground is Penarth Rugby CLub.

That's both interesting and not interesting at the same time!

I didn't say it was interesting, did I.

They used to play against the local side on good friday but it got a bit embarrassing towards the end.

Penarth used to kick them to bits?

Penarth used to kick them to bits?

Yes, that's exactly how I remember it too.

You just can't trust wikipedia though.

The first match took place in 1901, and over the next 75 encounters, Penarth won eleven games, drew four and lost 60. Between 1920 and the first Athletics Field game in 1925, the Good Friday games were hosted on Penarth County Grammar School's sports field.

The final Penarth v Barbarians game was played in 1986, by which time the Penarth club had slipped from its former prominent position in Welsh rugby. However, a special commemorative game, recognising the 100 years since the first Good Friday match, took place in 2001 and was played at the Athletic Field next to the Penarth clubhouse the day before the Barbarians played Wales at the Millennium Stadium. Gary Teichmann, captain of both the South African International squad and the Barbarians, unveiled a plaque at the clubhouse to mark the event.
